Build fails using python3 and pip3 on Arch Linux

[DaveJarvis]

Describe the bug Build fails on Arch Linux.

$ pip3 --version
pip 20.3.4 from /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)
$ python --version
Python 3.10.1
$ python -c "import struct;print( 8 * struct.calcsize('P'))"
64

To Reproduce Install Arch Linux (e.g., in a VM), then:

rm -rf $HOME/temp
mkdir $HOME/temp
cd $HOME/temp
git clone https://github.com/tribler/tribler --recursive
pip3 install --upgrade -r tribler/src/requirements.txt

Expected Build succeeds.

Actual Build fails:

I had the same issue. I think it has nothing to do with Arch Linux, but with Python 3.10 being too recent. Python 3.9 will work.

@DaveJarvis thank you for reporting. Unfortunately, we don't support Arch Linux.

Regarding the python version. We support versions 3.8 and 3.9. Supporting 3.10 require some work on picking up the correct version in pip dependencies (we postpone this support for now).
